My wishlist: engine power and tank

[ennobee]

I've been playing around with FMS for a week or two now and in general I'm very impressed by the program. Before too long, I'll start building my own models and landscapes and I already have some plans.

In the meantime: here's my wish list for the next version of FMS:
=> A more powerful scenery display so that we can once again use the 'oceansite' scenery with all the details (I managed to load it by deleting all of the flowers and all of the powerlines in the .scn file, but somehow it isn't the same)

=> For the ones of us who use a 2-axis joystick: a motor power indicator next to speed, height and vario showing like 0% to 100% how far you opened up your trottle. I know, if you use real transmitters and 3-axis joysticks, you can simply look down and see the position of your slider, but for the ones of us who still use the 'g' and 'b' keys, that would be nice.

=> and while we're at the subject: Since version 1.8 now allows to specify fuel capacity, could the flight data also include something like a fuel tank gauge indicating how far you still are from running out of power? I plan to make some models with limited fuel/engine run time.. think rubber powered, or rockets, or old-fashioned Cox ox.5 units and it would be nice to kindof know how much run time you still have left before your engine cuts.
